Flanno banning Christians try celebration

[Gardenia]

Reading that Flanno has banned Christian Tuipulotu from his 'Show Me the Money' try celebration is really disappointing.


This will be the first time I disagree with our new coach, but seriously—why ban such a fun, positive moment? I love that celebration; it brings so much joy to the game, and Christian has been playing so well this season. Has he completely lost the plot??

Footy star BANNED from performing popular post try celebration

St George Illawarra Dragons star Christian Tuipulotu has become a cult hero in the NRL due to his wild post try-scoring celebrating - but don't expect to see any more this season.

I agree with the coach.

Yep, if he scores an 80m match winner in the dying seconds, cool. Not when you're still 18 points down on the scoreboard.

I honestly don’t think there’s any harm in showing a bit of personality, especially in sports like the NRL. In fact, I think it could actually help boost ratings. When players let their personalities shine, it makes the game more relatable and entertaining for fans. It’s also a great way to create storylines and rivalries, which keep people engaged long after the game ends. Plus, it could bring a fresh, exciting vibe to the sport, which could draw in new viewers.


The NRL, in particular, could probably benefit from this kind of energy—it’s already a high-intensity sport, and adding personality only makes it more dynamic. Sure, there’s a fine line between fun and disrespectful behavior, but I think players showing their unique sides can only help the sport grow in the long run.

I'm all for it if we are up by 50 or it's the match winning try in the dying seconds but when we are getting pumped it just looks kinda dumb.
